A few years ago, sheepskin coats were a great competitor to fur coats. Because they looked no worse, but they cost an order of magnitude cheaper. Then they were temporarily supplanted by even more affordable winter jackets and down jackets.
But the nobility and sophistication of models again prevailed, and a few years ago sheepskin coats triumphantly returned to the world podiums. And along with the catwalks and in the wardrobe of many women.
Short styles
Shortened models have been in great demand over the past few years. They are ideal for car enthusiasts, for example, due to their lightness, practicality and ease of use. The entire range of shortened sheepskin coats can be divided into several styles: military, sports and biker.
Sheepskin coat - aviator. It is characterized by a fitted silhouette and wide lapels, so outwardly it resembles an elegant jacket.
These sheepskin coats are worn with turtlenecks, jumpers or high neck sweaters.
Sheepskin jacket. For example, a jacket. This model is characterized by a laconic design, clear lines, and its distinguishing feature is a long zipper sewn along the oblique.
Cropped models are great for creating a casual look. For their decoration, original metal fittings, decorative seams of a contrasting color, etc. are used.
Shortened sheepskin coats for ladies with curvaceous forms are characterized by the simplest style, free cut and the absence or insignificant amount of decor. Such sheepskin coats are not decorated with lush fur edges, as the fur gives the figure an extra volume.
But the clasp in the form of a double row of buttons allows you to visually stretch the figure.
For sewing such models, a well-crafted thin sheepskin is used, which perfectly holds its shape and is suitable for embodying interesting design ideas.
Bright and unusual colors, beautiful accessories and original decor give piquancy to sports and rocker models. A combination of a simple laconic style of a sheepskin coat and a beautiful, lush fur edge made of silver fox or arctic fox looks very stylish and feminine. Add an image of more aristocracy and sophistication to the edge of a short-cut fur.
Long models
Long sheepskin coats are slightly inferior in popularity to short and medium-length models. However, on tall girls with graceful parameters, a floor-length sheepskin coat looks unusually refined and elegant. Such a length is perfectly suited to an evening dress or an elegant business suit.
One of the most popular models is a sheepskin coat resembling a trench coat or raincoat. The main highlight of such a model is its democracy. She looks great with outfits in a classic, romantic style, and in casual style.
The model can be played differently.
A sheepskin coat with square pockets and a shirt cut with a collar resembles a rather male style. More elegant details, beautiful decor, fur trim give the model femininity and softness.
A classic sheepskin coat is considered a model of the hourglass style. An incredibly feminine silhouette that fits almost any woman. The model favorably emphasizes the thin waist and diverges downward by lush large frills. Direct models and A-silhouette sheepskin coats are still relevant.
Styles
Among the most relevant styles today, the first place goes biker. At the peak of popularity, sheepskin coats, aviators, jackets and other models with a characteristic simple cut, sleek design, wide collar, oblique zipper, etc.
